Re^2: Convert Non-standard C struct data to standard C struct

in reply to Re: Convert Non-standard C struct data to standard C struct
in thread Change the data to have the format which is like a C struct.

That doesn't look like any "standard C" I've ever seen?

Yeah, I agree. I haven't written C code for the last five or six years, but, to me, a standard C struct declaration usually looks more like this:

struct date {
     int day;
     int month;
     int year;
}
struct my_record_type {
     long key;
     int size;
     char text[128];
     struct date birthdate;
}

Yup! Pre-ANSI C allowed untyped vars to default to ints, but that did not extend to struct members; you cannot initialise struct members individually; and you don't assign the curlies to the tagname With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Yes, and I also chose my example in a way to show how to declare nested structures, which is quite different from the OP's example.	[reply]
